I love objects that seem wildly out of place for their time. This antique French snuffbox looks like a teenager's makeup case from the 1980s

A #tinyjoy to bring some cheer on what is a grey, wintery day in the Boston area:

A late #18thc snuffbox with the motto "The Eyes have pow'r/ To kill or cure."

Be careful, all, of basilisk women with doves.
Yellow snuffbox with image of a woman sitting on a chair with a dove flying away from her (very odd).

Why Trump Would Almost Certainly Be Violating the Constitution If He Continues to Own His Businesses
The meaning of the Emoluments Clause is fairly clear. And it all goes back to a diamond-encrusted snuffbox Ben Franklin got from Louis XVI.

Also recently acquired by the Wadsworth Atheneum, a snuffbox with sea monsters and fish (Meissen, c1760) #c18 #c18th #18thc
Hard-paste porcelain, original gold mounts. H. 4.6 cm, W. 9.3 cm, D. 7.3 cm From the French Porcelain Society newsletter: 'The ... snuffbox is, to our knowledge, unique. Its decoration combines carefully observed fish with fantastical sea monsters, juxtaposing the empirical study of nature with the imaginative world of myth. During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, richly illustrated natural history books and engraved zoological series circulated widely throughout Europe, providing artists with a rich repertory of marine imagery. These publications frequently intermingled carefully observed fish with legendary sea monsters, reflecting an era in which empirical observation and inherited tradition coexisted. The decoration of the box draws upon this visual culture, combining motifs from printed sources into a remarkably inventive composition. The exceptionally refined miniature painting demonstrates the technical and artistic sophistication achieved by Meissen's porcelain painters in the mid-eighteenth century.'
